Image rebuild (skip scrape) / build (push) Failing after 1h37m12s
Dockerfile: self-contained image with corpus + Chroma + BM25 baked in. Drawbar's compose pulls + runs without volume mounts. Built from sources.json (labels schema), PRODUCT_NAME=crop_chem by default, HYBRID_SEARCH=true (always-on for production quality). RERANK_URL + OLLAMA_URL get set at compose time. .gitea/workflows/refresh.yml: monthly cron (1st @ 06:00 UTC) does full scrape → reindex → image push. Scrapes Bayer (~30 min) + EPA PPLS row-crop filtered (~7h). Skips reindex+push if no corpus diff. Tags pushed: :latest, :<sha12>, :corpus-<YYYY.MM.DD>. .gitea/workflows/image-only.yml: on-demand or auto on code-only pushes to main (paths: docs_mcp/, rag/, scrape/, requirements.txt, Dockerfile, sources.json). Reindexes from committed corpus, builds image, pushes. ~10 min vs ~9h full refresh. .gitignore: corpus/ now COMMITTED (4,159 labels, 265 MB of .md + sidecars). Lets image-only.yml rebuild indexes without re-scraping. chroma/ + bm25/ still gitignored (regenerable binary indexes). .dockerignore: drops venv, eval results, PLAN/README/CLAUDE.md, deploy/, .git/ — keeps the image lean. corpus + chroma + bm25 explicitly NOT in dockerignore (those go INTO the image).

Dear Julie Porter:
|
||
The amended label referred to above, submitted in connection with registration under the
|
||
Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), as amended, is acceptable. This
|
||
approval does not affect any conditions that were previously imposed on this registration. You
|
||
continue to be subject to existing conditions on your registration and any deadlines connected
|
||
with them.
|
||
The Agency, in accordance with FIFRA, as amended, has completed reviewing all the
|
||
information submitted with your application to support the Registration Review of the above
|
||
referenced product in connection with the Acetochlor and Topramezone Interim Decisions. The
|
||
Agency has concluded that your submission is acceptable.
|
||
A stamped copy of your labeling is enclosed for your records. This labeling supersedes all
|
||
previously accepted labeling. The next label printing of this product must use this labeling unless
|
||
subsequent changes have been approved. You must submit one copy of the final printed
|
||
labeling before you release the product for shipment with the new labeling. In accordance with
|
||
40 CFR 152.130(c), you may distribute or sell this product under the previously approved
|
||
labeling for 18 months from the date of this letter. After 12 months, you may only distribute or
|
||
sell this product if it bears this new revised labeling or subsequently approved labeling. “To

|
||
CFR 152.3.
|
||
|
||
The label submitted with the application has been stamped “Accepted Only Indicated Revisions
|
||
Reviewed” and is enclosed for your records.
|
||
|
||
Should you wish to add/retain a reference to the company’s website on your label, then please
|
||
be aware that the website becomes labeling under FIFRA and is subject to review by the
|
||
Agency. If the website is false or misleading, the product would be misbranded and unlawful to
|
||
sell or distribute under FIFRA section 12(a)(1)(E). 40 CFR 156.10(a)(5) lists examples of
|
||
statements EPA may consider false or misleading. In addition, regardless of whether a website
|
||
is referenced on your product’s label, claims made on the website may not substantially differ
|
||
from those claims approved through the registration process. Therefore, should the Agency find
|
||
or if it is brought to our attention that a website contains false or misleading statements or
|
||
claims substantially differing from the EPA approved registration, the website will be referred
|
||
to the EPA’s Office of Enforcement and Compliance.
|
||
|
||
Your release for shipment of the product constitutes acceptance of these conditions. If these
|
||
conditions are not complied with, the registration will be subject to cancellation in accordance
|
||
with FIFRA section 6.
|
||
|

||
ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
|
||
|
||
This product is toxic to fish. Do not apply directly to water, or to areas where surface water is present or to
|
||
intertidal areas below the mean high water mark. Do not contaminate water when disposing of equipment
|
||
washwaters or rinsate. Apply this product only as directed on the label.
|
||
|
||
Non-Target Organism Advisory:
|
||
This product is toxic to plants and may adversely impact the forage and habitat of non-target organisms, including
|
||
pollinators, in areas adjacent to the treated site. Protect the forage and habitat of non-target organisms by
|
||
following label directions intended to minimize spray drift.
|
||
|
||
Groundwater Advisory:
|
||
Topramezone is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of agricultural
|
||
use. Use of this chemical in areas where soils are permea ble, particularly where the water table is shallow, may
|
||
result in groundwater contamination.
|
||
|
||
Acetochlor is known to leach through soil into groundwater under certain conditions as a result of label use. This
|
||
chemical may leach into groundwater if used in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the water
|
||
table is shallow. Acetochlor demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected
|
||
in ground water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground water
|
||
is shallow, may result in ground water contamination.
|
||
|
||
Surface Water Advisory:
|
||
This product may impact surface water quality due to runoff of rain water. This is especially true for poorly draining
|
||
soils and soils with shallow groundwater. This product is classified as a high potential for reaching both surface
|
||
water and aquatic sediment via runoff for several mont hs or more after application. A level, well-maintained
|
||
vegetative buffer strip between areas to which this product is applied and surface water features such as ponds,
|
||
streams, and springs will reduce the potential loading of topramezone and its transformation products from runoff
|
||
water and sediment. Runoff of this product will be reduced by avoiding applications when rainfall or irrigation is
|
||
expected to occur within 48 hours.
|
||
|
||
Acetochlor has properties that may result in surface water contamination via dissolved runoff and runoff erosion.
|
||
Use practices to minimize the potential for dissolved runoff and/or runoff erosion.
|
||
|
||
DIRECTIONS FOR USE
|
||
It is a violation of Federal law to use this product in a manner inconsistent with its labeling. This product can only
|
||
be used in accordance with the Directions for Use on this label or in a separately published AMVAC Supplemental
|
||
Labeling.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply this product in a way that will contact workers or other persons, either directly or through drift. Only
|
||
protected handlers may be in the area during application. For any requirement specific to your State or Tribe,
|
||
consult the State/Tribal agency responsible for pesticide regulation.
|
||
|
||
NOT FOR SALE, SALE INTO, DISTRIBUTION AND/OR USE IN NASSAU AND SUFFOLK COUNTIES OF NEW YORK STATE.
|
||
|
||
AGRICULTURAL USE REQUIREMENTS
|
||
Use this product only in accordance with its labeling and with the Worker Protection Standard, 40 CFR Part 170.
|
||

|
||
Do not enter or allow worker entry into treated areas dur ing the restricted entry interval (REI) of 12 hours.
|
||
Exception: if the product is soil-injected or soil-incorporated, the Worker Protection Standard, under certain
|
||
circumstances, allows workers to enter the treated area if there will be no contact with anything that has been
|
||
treated.
|
||
PPE required for early entry into treated areas that is permitted under the Worker Protection Standard and that
|
||
involves contact with anything that has been treated, such as plants, soil, or water, are:
|
||
• Long-sleeved shirt and long pants,
|
||
• Chemical-resistant gloves made of Barrier Laminate, or Butyl Rubber,
|

A. PRODUCT INFORMATION
|
||
215-18 is an emulsifiable concentrate (EC) herbicide that provides systemic control or partial control of many
|
||
emerged broadleaf weeds and grasses combined with soil re sidual weed control in field corn (grown for grain,
|
||
silage, or seed) and popcorn. Use this product on conventional and herbicide-resistant corn hybrids. AMVAC has
|
||
not tested all inbred field corn lines for tolerance to this product. Before using this product, refer to seed company
|
||
recommendations for use on inbred lines of field corn. This product contains two modes of action.
|
||
Susceptible weeds will stop growing soon after application while complete control of weeds may take several
|
||
more days, depending on growing conditions, and weed species and size. When applied broadcast to emerged
|
||
weeds as directed, this product will control or partially control the broadleaf weeds listed in TABLE 1 and the grass
|
||
weeds listed in TABLE 2.
|
||
215-18 may be tank-mixed with other corn herbicides to provide both broader spectrum and residual weed
|
||
control. Refer to Tank Mixes in the Crop Use Directions. It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all
|
||
products in the listed mixtures are registered for the intended use. Users must follow the most restrictive
|
||
directions for use and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
Applications of 215-18 must also include recommended spray additives. Refer to Additives and Mixing Order for
|
||
directions in this label.

1For best performance, apply 215-18 before weeds exceed the maximum size listed in TABLE 2.
|
||
2C=control, PC=partial control, and --- =control poor or unknown.
|
||
3Tank-mixing atrazine at 0.25 to 0.5 lb active per acre/A with 215-18 herbicide will enhance control of emerged
|
||
grass weeds.
|
||
42015-18 herbicide minimum use rate of 30 fl oz/A is required for grass weeds listed as C=Control. When rates
|
||
below 30 fl oz/A are applied, a tank mixture of 215-18 herbicide and glyphosate is recommended.
|
||
52015-18 herbicide use rate of 40 fl oz/A is required for control of this grass weed.
|
||
|
||
1. Mode of Action
|
||
215-18 contains the active ingredients topramezone (HPPD inhibitor, Group 27) and acetochlor (very long chain
|
||
fatty acid inhibitor, Group 15). Topramezone is absorbed by leaves, roots, and shoots and is translocated to the
|
||
growing points of sensitive weeds, and controls weeds by inhibiting carotenoid biosynthesis. Temperatures and
|
||
moisture conditions which favor active plant growth and development are important for optimum topramezone
|
||
activity. Acetochlor is a root and shoot growth inhibitor that controls susceptible weed germinating seedlings
|
||
before or shortly after they emerge from soil. Acetochlor requires adequate soil moisture for optimum activity
|
||
and provides residual control of sensitive weeds. If an activating rainfall does not occur within 7 days following
|
||
application of 215-18, degree of residual weed control will be affected.
|
||
|
||
RESISTANCE-MANAGEMENT RECOMMENDATIONS
|
||
For resistance management, please note that 215-18 contains a Group 27 (Topramezone) and a Group 15
|
||
(Acetochlor) herbicide. Any weed population may contain plants resistant to Group 27 and Group 15 herbicides.
|
||
The resistant individuals may quickly dominate the weed population if these herbicides are used repeatedly in
|
||
the same fields. Follow appropriate resistance-management strategies.
|
||
|

|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
To delay herbicide resistance, take as many as possible of the following steps:
|
||
x Rotate the use of 215-18 or other Group 27 or 15 herbicides within a growing season sequence or among
|
||
growing seasons with different effective herbicide groups that control the same weeds in a field.
|
||
x Use tank mixtures with herbicides from different effective herbicide groups if such use is permitted at rates
|
||
that will control the target weed(s). Consult your local extension service or certified crop advisor if you are
|
||
unsure as to which active ingredient to use.
|
||
x Adopt a diversified weed-management program for herbicide use that includes scouting and uses historical
|
||
information related to herbicide use and crop rotation. Consider tillage (or other mechanical control
|
||
methods), cultural (e.g., higher crop seeding rates, precision fertilizer application methods and timings to
|
||
favor the crop and not the weeds), biological (e.g., weed-competitive crops or varieties or cover crops) and
|
||
other management practices.
|
||
x Scout after herbicide application to monitor weed populations for early signs of resistant individuals.
|
||
Indicators of possible herbicide resistance include: (1) failure to control a weed species normally controlled
|
||
by the herbicide at the dose applied, especially if control is achieved on adjacent weeds; (2) a spreading
|
||
patch of non-controlled plants of a particular weed species; (3) surviving plants mixed with controlled
|
||
individuals of the same species. Prevent weed seed production in the affected area by an effective
|
||
alternative herbicide from a different group or by a mechanical method such as hoeing or tillage. Prevent
|
||
movement of weed seeds to other fields by cleaning harvesting and tillage equipment when moving
|
||
between fields and planting clean crop seed.
|
||
x If a weed population continues to survive after treatment with this product, discontinue use of this product,
|
||
and switch to another management strategy or herbicide with a different effective mode of action (MOA),
|
||
if available.
|
||
x Contact your local extension specialist, certified crop advisors, and/or AMVAC representative for additional
|
||
pesticide resistance-management and/or integrated weed-management recommendations for specific
|
||
crops and weed biotypes.

2. Best Management Practices
|
||
Apply herbicides using proper application techniques, including application timing and appropriate spray volumes
|
||
for thorough coverage of weeds. Use full rates of 215-18 and any additional herbicides in tank mixtures, or when
|
||
using herbicidal and crop rotation strategies. In addition, the following practices should be followed:
|
||
|
||
x Use cultural (e.g., crop rotation) and mechanical (e.g., tillage) weed management tactics.
|
||
x Use crops with herbicide-resistant (HR) traits and/ or HR trait stacks for more efficient crop and MOA
|
||
rotation.
|
||
x Correctly identify weeds and know where the weeds are in your fields.
|
||
x Start with clean fields. Tillage or a burndown herbicide program can control emerged weeds prior to
|
||
planting.
|
||
x Clean equipment to prevent the spread of weeds seeds.
|
||
x Use residual herbicides in pre-emergence and early post-emergence applications.
|
||
x Scout fields soon after herbicide application to identify escaped weeds, population shifts, and herbicide
|
||
resistant biotypes.
|
||
x Closely monitor problem areas in fields with difficult-to-control weeds or dense weed populations.
|
||
x Control weed escapes by spot herbicide applications, rope wicking, cultivation or hand removal of weeds,
|
||
or other techniques to stop weed seed production and the accumulation of seeds in the soil bank.
|
||
Stopping weed seed development will decrease we ed populations from year to year and help prevent
|
||
major weed shifts.
|
||
|
||
3. Insecticide Information
|
||
215-18 does not cause interaction with soil-applied insecticides. It may be used sequentially with soil-applied
|
||
insecticides or in combination with foliar-applied insecticides registered for use in corn. Follow the directions for
|
||
use on the insecticide label.
|
||
|
||
B. ADDITIVES
|
||
Postemergence applications of 215-18 require the addition of an adjuvant and a nitrogen fertilizer source to
|
||
achieve optimum weed control. AMVAC recommends the use of a product which has been reviewed and approved
|
||
by the Council of Producers & Distributors of Agrotechnology (CPDA) Adjuvant Certification Committee.
|
||
|
||
ADJUVANTS:
|
||
x 215-18 alone – Use methylated seed oil (MSO) at 1-2 qt/100 gallons of water (0.25% to 0.5% v/v) or high
|
||
surfactant methylated oil concentrate (HSMOC) at 1-2 pt/100 gallons of water (0.125% to 0.25% v/v). Use
|
||
a higher rate of adjuvant during periods of hot, dry weather and during periods of moisture stress. The
|
||
use of oil-based adjuvants increases the potential for leaf burn necrosis following application, however,
|
||
corn development and yield are not affected.
|
||
OR
|
||
|
||
x Tank Mixtures with 215-18 – Use nonionic surfactant (NIS) at 1 qt/100 gal lons of water (0.25% v/v). NIS
|
||
is recommended when tank-mixing 215-18 with glyphosate-containing herbicides. Oil-based adjuvants
|
||
|
||
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 11 of 22
|
||
|
||
(MSO, HSMOC) may be used in tank mixtures with 215-18, however, use of these adjuvants can cause leaf
|
||
burn necrosis within a few days after treatment. Corn development and yield are not affected.
|
||
AND
|
||
|
||
|
||
NITROGEN FERTILIZER SOURCE:
|
||
Add spray grade ammonium sulfate (AMS) at 1.5 to 2.5 poundslb/A or urea ammonium nitrate (UAN, 28-34%) at
|
||
1.25 to 2.5 gallons per 100 gallons of water (1.25% to 2.5% v/v). Use higher rates during periods of hot, dry weather
|
||
and during periods of moisture stress. A liquid AMS product which delivers an equivalent amount of ammonium
|
||
sulfate per acre may be used. Commercial liquid solutions of AMS contain approximately 3.4 poundslb of
|
||
AMS/gallon.
|
||
|
||
|
||
C. MIXING INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
|
||
1. Tank-Mixing Information
|
||
215-18 may be applied in tank-mix combinations with labeled rates of other products labeled for the application
|
||
method and timing to corn. The tank-mix partner must be used in accordance with the label restrictions and
|
||
precautions. No label dosage rates may be exceeded. Do not mix 215-18 with any product prohibited for tank
|
||
mixtures. Refer to the specific crop section for rates and other restrictions.
|
||
|
||
215-18 is formulated to mix readily in water. Prior to adding 215-18 to the spray tank, ensure that the spray tank
|
||
is thoroughly clean, particularly if a herbicide with the potential to injure corn was previously used.
|
||
|
||
It is the pesticide user’s responsibility to ensure that all products are registered for the intended use. Read and
|
||
follow the restrictions, precautions and directions for use on all included product labels. Users must follow the
|
||
most restrictive directions and precautionary statements of each product in the tank mixture.
|
||
|
||
215-18 is recommended to be used sequentially or tank mixed with other herbicides as part of a complete weed
|
||
control program. Tank-mix recommendations are for use only in states where the sequential or tank-mix product
|
||
and application site is registered. Refer to Crop Use Directions for more details and for specific tank-mix
|
||
restrictions. Read and follow the applicable Restrictions and Directions for Use on all products included in any
|
||
tank-mix. The most restrictive labeling applies to tank mixes. Do not use liquid fertilizer as a carrier for
|
||
postemergence applications of 215-18. Use only water as a carrier.
|
||
|
||

|
||
|
||
2. Tank-Mixing Order Instructions
|
||
Following are mixing order guidelines for 215-18 either alone or with other components, including spray
|
||
adjuvants:
|
||
|
||
a. Water – Fill spray tank ½ to ¾ full using clean water and begin agitation.
|
||
b. If included, add water-soluble PVA packets to tank and thoroughly mix. Ensure PVA packets are
|
||
completely mixed in spray tank before proceeding.
|
||
c. Add water-soluble additives, including dry and liquid fertilizers such as AMS.
|
||
d. Add water-dispersible products such as wettable powders, dry flowables, suspension concentrates,
|
||
or suspo-emulsions.
|
||
e. Add water-soluble products.
|
||
f. Add 215-18, other emulsifiable concentrates, and oil-based adjuvants such as MSO.
|
||
g. Fill the remainder of the tank with water.
|
||
h. Maintain adequate and continuous agitation during the entire application of the tank contents.
|
||
|
||
3. Compatibility Testing for Components
|
||
If mixing 215-18 with pesticide products not listed on this label, test the compatibility of the intended tank mixture
|
||
prior to mixing the products in the spray tank. The following procedure assumes a spray volume of 15 gallons per
|
||
acre/A. For other spray volumes, adjust the amount of the water used accordingly. Check compatibility as follows:
|
||
|
||
a. Place 20 fl oz of water from the source that will be used to prepare the spray solution in a clear 1-
|
||
quart jar.
|
||
b. For each pound of a dry tank-mix partner to be applied per acre, add 1.5 teaspoons tspn to the jar.
|
||
c. For each 16 fl oz of a liquid tank-mix partner to be applied per acre, add 0.75 teaspoontspn to the jar.
|
||
d. For each 16 fl oz of 215-18 to be applied per acre, add 0.75 teaspoon tspn to the jar.
|
||
e. After adding all the ingredients, place a lid on the jar and tighten securely. Invert 10 times to mix.
|
||
f. Let the mixture stand for 15 minutes and evaluate the solution for uniformity and stability. Look for
|
||
separation, large flakes, precipitates, gels, heavy oily film on the jar, or other signs of incompatibility.
|
||
If the tank-mix partners are not compatible, do not use the mixture in a spray tank.
|
||
g. After compatibility testing is complete, dispose of any pesticide wastes in accordance with the Storage
|
||
and Disposal section of this label.
|
||
|
||
D. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
|
||
215-18 must be applied to both emerged weeds and corn. Apply as a broadcast application to provide control of
|
||
emerged weeds as well as residual control of susceptible, emerging weed seedlings. Apply 215-18 by ground and
|
||
refer to Crop-specific Information section for application restrictions.
|
||
|
||
Make postemergence applications of 215-18 when weeds do not exceed size shown in TABLES 1 and 2 and are
|
||
actively growing. An adjuvant is required for best performance on emerged weeds; refer to Additives section for
|
||
details. Depending on growing conditions, emerged, susceptible weeds may take 14 to 21 days for complete
|
||
control. Herbicidal activity on emerged weeds may be delayed or reduced under extended cloudy and/or cooler
|
||
weather conditions, or when weeds are under drought and/or heat stress conditions.
|
||
|
||
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 13 of 22
|
||
|
||
|
||
215-18 should be applied a minimum of one hour before rainfall or overhead irrigation.
|
||
|
||
215-18 provides soil residual control of susceptible weeds. If activating rainfall is not received within 7 days after
|
||
application, residual weed control may be reduced.
|
||
|
||
Avoid disturbing (e.g., cultivation) treated areas for at least 7 days following an application of 215-18 to allow
|
||
maximum herbicide absorption and weed control. Avoid deep cultivation that will move dormant weed seeds
|
||
upward in the soil where seeds can germinate.
|
||
|
||
The applicator is responsible for any loss or damage that results from spraying 215-18 in a manner other than
|
||
recommended in this label.
|
||
|
||
Restrictions: If native plant communities exist within 30 feet downwind of the application, a 30-foot downwind
|
||
spray buffer must be maintained between the application and those native plant communities. The applicator
|
||
must follow all applicable state and local regulations and ordinances regarding spraying.
|
||
|
||
1. Ground Application Methods and Equipment
|
||
Apply 215-18 with properly calibrated ground equipment in a minimum of 10 or more15 gallons of water per acre.
|
||
Use water volumes of greater than 15 gallons or more per acre per/A when treating larger weeds and/or dense
|
||
weed infestations. Slower application speeds generally result in more uniform coverage of targeted area and
|
||
better performance.
|
||
|
||
2. Cleaning Spray Equipment
|
||
To avoid injury to sensitive crops, clean all equipment using a strong detergent or commercial sprayer cleaner
|
||
according to the manufacturer’s directions. Triple rinse tanks and spray booms before and after applying this
|
||
product.
|
||
|
||
After using 215-18 triple rinse the spray equipment, including use of a commercial tank cleaner, before using the
|
||
equipment for a new application. Make sure any rinsate or foam is thoroughly removed from spray tank and
|
||
boom. Rinsate may be disposed following the pesticide disposal directions on this label.
|
||
|
||
3. Spray Coverage
|
||
Thoroughly cover emerged weeds with spray droplets to achieve optimum and consistent control. Dense leaf
|
||
canopies can prevent adequate spray coverage resulting in poor weed control. Use nozzles and pressures that
|
||
generate medium to coarse size spray droplets (250-400 microns). Use spray volumes which ensure coverage of
|
||
emerged weeds with 215-18 to maximize performance. Avoid using nozzles that produce very coarse, extremely
|
||
coarse or ultra-coarse spray droplets, as this will result in unsatisfactory weed control.
|
||
|
||
4. Spray Drift Restrictions
|
||
APPLICATORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING SPRAY DRIFT AT AND ADJACENT TO THE APPLICATION SITE.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply when weather conditions favor spray drift to adjacent sensitive crops and vegetation. Spray droplets
|
||
intercepted by susceptible plants from drift may caus e plant injury. Make applications when wind speeds are
|
||
approximately between 2 and 10 mph to avoid spray drift from treated areas. Do not apply when winds are gusty,
|
||
during temperature inversions, or when conditions will favor movement of spray particles away from the desired
|
||
|
||
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 14 of 22
|
||
|
||
spray target. Avoid spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Consider using
|
||
agriculturally approved drift-reducing additives in accordance with product labels.
|
||
|
||
Ground application equipment must be properly maintained and calibrated using appropriate carriers. Wind
|
||
speed must be measured adjacent to the application site, on the upwind side, immediately prior to application.
|
||
Sensitive Areas: Apply the pesticide when the potential for drift to adjacent sensitive areas (e.g., residential areas,
|
||
bodies of water, and known habitats for threatened or endangered species, non-target crops) is minimal (e.g.,
|
||
when wind is blowing away from the sensitive areas).
|
||
|
||
Do not apply where possible drift to unprotected persons, or to food, forage, or crops that might be damaged and
|
||
thus rendered unfit for sale, use, or consumption can occur.
|
||
MANDATORY SPRAY DRIFT MANAGEMENT
|
||
Ground Boom Applications:
|
||
x User must only apply with the release height recom mended by the manufacturer, but no more than 4 feet
|
||
above the ground or crop canopy.
|
||
x Applicators are required to select a nozzle and pressure that deliver medium or coarse [PJ1] droplets in
|
||
accordance with American Society of Agricultural & Biological Engineers Standard 572 (ASABE S572).
|
||
x Do not apply when wind speeds exceed 15 miles per hour at the application site.
|
||
x Do not apply during temperature inversions.
|
||
SPRAY DRIFT ADVISORIES
|
||
THE APPLICATOR IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AVOIDING OFF-SITE SPRAY DRIFT.
|
||
BE AWARE OF NEARBY NON-TARGET SITES AND ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS.
|
||
|
||
IMPORTANCE OF DROPLET SIZE
|
||
An effective way to reduce spray drift is to apply the largest droplets that provide target pest control. While
|
||
applying larger droplets will reduce spray drift, the potential for drift will be greater if applications are made
|
||
improperly or under unfavorable environmental conditions.
|
||
|
||
Controlling Droplet Size – Ground Boom
|
||
a. Volume - Increasing the spray volume so that larger droplets are produced will reduce spray drift. Use the
|
||
highest practical spray volume for the application. If a greater spray volume is needed, consider using a nozzle
|
||
with a higher flow rate.
|
||
b. Pressure - Use the lowest spray pre ssure recommended for the nozzle to produce the target spray volume
|
||
and droplet size.
|
||
c. Spray Nozzle - Use a spray nozzle that is designed for the intended application. Consider using nozzles designed
|
||
to reduce drift.
|
||
BOOM HEIGHT – Ground Boom
|
||
For ground equipment, the boom should remain level directly above the crop canopy and have minimal bounce.
|
||
|
||
SHIELDED SPRAYERS
|
||
Shielding the boom or individual nozzles can reduce spray drift. Consider using shielded sprayers. Verify that the
|
||
shields are not interfering with the uniform deposition of the spray on the target area.
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE AND HUMIDITY
|
||
When making applications in hot and dry conditions, use larger droplets to reduce effects of evaporation.
|
||
|
||
xxx648-202004212021092820250721819 Page 15 of 22
|
||
|
||
TEMPERATURE INVERSIONS
|
||
Drift potential is high during a temperature inversion. Te mperature inversions are characterized by increasing
|
||
temperature with altitude and are common on nights with limited cloud cover and light to no wind. The presence
|
||
of an inversion can be indicated by ground fog or by the movement of smoke from a ground source or an aircraft
|
||
smoke generator. Smoke that layers and moves laterally in a concentrated cloud (under low wind conditions)
|
||
indicates an inversion, while smoke that moves upward and rapidly dissipates indicates good vertical air mixing.
|
||
Avoid applications during temperature inversions.
|
||
|
||
WIND
|
||
Drift potential generally increases with wind spee d. AVOID APPLICATIONS DURIN G GUSTY WIND CONDITIONS.
|
||
Applicators need to be familiar with local wind patterns and terrain that could affect spray drift.
|
||
|
||
E. RESTRICTIONS
|
||
|
||
x Do Not apply more than 40 fl oz of 215-18 per acre per year.
|
||
x Do Not apply 215-18 to corn which is greater than 11 inches in height.
|
||
x Do Not use liquid fertilizer as a carrier for postemergence applications.
|
||
x Do Not graze or feed treated corn forage, silage, fodder, or grain for at least 45 days after an application
|
||
of this product.
|
||
|
||
1. Rotational Crop Restrictions
|
||
The following rotational crops may be planted after uniformly applying 215-18 at labeled application rates. Do not
|
||
plant earlier than the specified interval, as crop injury may occur. Avoid over-applications by minimizing overlaps
|
||
of spray swaths and by switching off spray boom when turning (end rows). In the event of a crop loss due to
|
||
weather or other causes, any corn type can be replanted at any time following an application of 215-18. If 215-
|
||
18 was tank-mixed with other herbicides, the label replanting restrictions for these herbicides must be followed.

2. Use Restrictions
|
||
This chemical demonstrates the properties and characteristics associated with chemicals detected in ground
|
||
water. The use of this chemical in areas where soils are permeable, particularly where the ground water is shallow,
|
||
may result in ground water contamination. On the following soil types, do not apply this product within 50 feet of
|
||
any well where the depth to ground water is 30 feet or less: sands with less than 3 percent organic matter; loamy

||
|
||
Do not apply this product using aerial application equipment, unless otherwise directed by approved
|
||
supplemental labeling in possession of the user at the time of application.
|
||
|
||
Do not apply when wind conditions favor drift to non-target sites. To minimize spray drift to non-target areas:
|
||
|
||
Use low-pressure application equipm ent capable of producing a large droplet spray. Do not use nozzles
|
||
that produce a fine droplet spray. Minimize drift by using sufficient spray vo lume to ensure adequate
|
||
coverage with large droplet size sprays.
|
||
|
||
Keep ground driven spray boom as low as possible above the target surface.
|
||
|
||
Make application when the wind velocity favors on-target product deposition (approximately 3 to 10 miles
|
||
per hour). Do not apply when wind velocity exce eds 15 miles per hour. Avoid application when gusts
|
||
approach 15 miles per hour.
|
||
|
||
Low humidity and high temperatures increase the likelihood of spray drift to sensitive areas. Avoid
|
||
spraying during conditions of low humidity and/or high temperatures. Do not apply during inversion
|
||
conditions.

F. CROP-SPECIFIC USE DIRECTIONS
|
||
215-18 is for use in corn only. 215-18 may be applied for control of emerged weeds and residual control of
|
||
susceptible, emerging weed seedlings after crop planting. Target application to broadleaf and grass weeds which
|
||
do not exceed the maximum size shown in TABLES 1 and 2 under Product Information section.
|
||
|
||
1. Corn (field corn, seed corn, popcorn)
|
||
215-18 may be applied to field corn, seed corn and popcorn including both conventional and herbicide-resistant
|
||
hybrids of these corn types. Apply from corn emergence up to 11-inch tall corn.
|
||
|
||
215-18 may be used in tank mixtures or sequential applications with other products that are registered for use in
|
||
corn. If 215-18 is tank mixed with other herbicides, follow the label restrictions for the most restrictive of the tank-
|
||
mix products. Ensure that the respective tank-mix products are registered for use on the specific corn types being
|
||
treated, as not all corn products are registered on seed corn and popcorn.
|
||
|
||
2. Application Rates
|
||
215-18 application rate varies by soil texture and percent organic matter as specified in TABLE 3. Follow rate
|
||
ranges listed in this table for best control of emerged weeds and germinating weeds after application. Up to two
|
||
sequential applications of 215-18 may be made during a growing season. Applications must be separated by 14
|
||
days or more and must not exceed a cumulative total of 40 fl oz/A per year.

3. Application Timing
|
||
x Field Corn and Popcorn – 215-18 may be applied from spike stage of corn up to 11-inch tall corn.
|
||
x Preharvest Interval (PHI) – Do not make applications to field corn or popcorn within 45 days of corn
|
||
harvest (silage, fodder or grain).
|
||
|
||
4. Tank Mixes
|
||
215-18 may be tank mixed or applied sequentially to corn with other herbicides to broaden the spectrum of weed
|
||
control and/or extend the length of residual control. Atra zine (Photosystem II inhibitor, Group 5 herbicide) is
|
||
known to enhance the activity of herbicides containing an HPPD-inhibitor (Group 27) such as 215-18. Atrazine may
|
||
be tank mixed with 215-18 at 0.25 to 0.5 lb active atrazine per acre for enhanced control of emerged broadleaf
|
||
and grass weeds. Higher rates of atrazine will provide additional residual weed control. To enhance control of
|
||
emerged grass weeds, 215-18 herbicide may be tank-mixed with glyphosate-containing herbicides. Follow
|
||
adjuvant recommendations specified in the ADDITIVES section of this label.
|
||
|
||
5. Sequential Uses
|
||
215-18 may be applied at rates specified in TABLE 3 as the second pass in a planned two-pass sequential program
|
||
in corn. If using other acetochlor-containing herbicides in a sequential program, do not apply more than 3 lb active
|
||
of acetochlor per acre during the season.
|
||
|
||
When applied in the second pass, reduced rates of Impact Core may be tank mixed with other postemergence
|
||
herbicides, including but not limited to, Impact, ImpactZ, Sinate, glyphosate and glufosinate for broader spectrum
|
||
control of emerged weeds.
|
||
|
||
If using other acetochlor-containing herbicides in a sequential program, do not apply more than 3 lb active of
|
||
acetochlor per acre during the season. If using other topramezone-containing herbicides in a sequential program,
|
||
do not apply more than 0.044 lb active of topramezone per acre during the season.
|
||

|
||
|
||
|
||
6. Crop Tolerance
|
||
Apply 215-18 during favorable growing conditions for optimum crop tolerance and weed control. Avoid making
|
||
applications during or following an extended period of cloudy days and cool night temperatures when crop is not
|
||
actively growing. Crops under stressful growing conditions are more likely to show injury response from any
|
||
herbicide application. Rarely, corn plants under stressful growing conditions and treated with 215-18 may show
|
||
transient leaf bleaching. Leaf burn necrosis can also occur under warm, humid conditions at application. Use of
|
||
additional herbicides and/or oil-based adjuvants in the tank mixture may increase potential for foliar burnnecrosis.
|
||
These symptoms are infrequent and temporary; crop growth and development are not affected.
|
||
|
||
|
||
